Registering with HP

As part of the initial setup in some countries/regions, you will be prompted to register the computer with HP. It’s important to register so that you can be notified of changes and updates to the HP Pavilion. This information also assists HP Customer Care if you ever need to call for support.

We recommend that you register the HP Pavilion at this time. You can register any of these ways:

■When you first start up your computer, follow the onscreen instructions and register as soon as you have a modem connection.

■Double-click the registration icon on your desktop, and follow the onscreen instructions.

■Go to the HP Web site, and register online at http://register.hp.com

Getting Help

You can get help over the telephone from HP. See the Support Guide included with the computer documentation for the terms of your HP Pavilion warranty coverage, and for support telephone numbers.

Protecting the PC

HP provides a virus-scanning software program to help protect your PC (select models only). The program runs automatically when you start the computer.

The virus-scanning program manufacturer provides free virus scan updates through your Internet connection for an initial period after your HP Pavilion home PC purchase. You can purchase a subscription service for updates after your initial free period expires.
